I repent and turn my worship back to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Scripture: “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.” - 1 John 2:15-16

Repent: I confess that I have not always fled from sexual immorality. There are times when I have been unfaithful either in thought or action. I have been prideful and selfish, seeking my wants and desires instead of submitting to Your will. I have sinned against You, sinned against my own body, and disrespected the people I love. I turn from sexual immorality and repent. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Scripture: “Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

So glorify God in your body.” - 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” - Matthew 7:7-11

You sent Your son Jesus, who is gentle and lowly of heart, so that sinners like me could approach You and receive the good news of eternal life.
Repent: I confess that I often fail to follow Jesus’ example of meekness and humility. I repent of all of the times I have let this world’s troubles and temptations blind me from Your goodness and hope.
Ask: I ask that You constantly remind me of Your steadfast love and unchanging promises. By the power of the Holy Spirit, produce a meekness and humility in my heart like that of Jesus, so I may have a humble assurance and strong faith. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Yield: I set my eyes on the hope of heaven where there will be no more sin and pain. Until that day, I resolve to surrender my heart, plans, and will to You - no matter the cost. I acknowledge this comes through abiding in You with daily discipline and a genuine relationship. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Focus: God Reveals His Glory
Praise: Father, Your glory is unmatched and worthy of praise! Thank You for revealing this glory to lowly sinners like me. You have revealed Yourself as full of mercy, slow to anger, unchanging, and the source of justice. Hallelujah, our God reigns!
Repent: I admit that I will never be able to fully comprehend the full weight and riches of Your glory, but often I fail to acknowledge it in my everyday life. I lack a proper awe and reverence for You. I repent of this misplaced priority.
Ask: Please open the eyes of my heart to see Your glory today through Your creation and Your Word. I ask You to give me the words to say to my family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors so they can join me in awe of You.
Yield: I yield to the Word of God to shape my view of You instead of the misconceptions from the world. May I actively write Your Word on my heart and spend time talking to You so I have a clearer view of Your glory. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Scripture: “The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.” - Exodus 34:6-7

Day #42:

Focus: Submitting My Family to God
Praise: Father, I praise You for the gift of family and how it serves as a shadow of Your love and closeness. Thank You for my family: ______________. You intentionally created each of us and brought us together.
Repent: I confess that I let the busyness of life distract our family from centering around Christ. I have allowed us to prioritize _______________ (sports, entertainment, electronics, work, school, etc) ahead of You. I repent of this lack of stewardship.
Ask: Will You reveal to my family Your goodness and faithfulness? Give us a proper biblical view of marriage, parenting, forgiveness, and love.
Yield: Jesus, I submit to You out of obedience and surrender my family to You. In their unfaithfulness, the Israelites would have false household gods. I resolve to cast away everything my family has made an idol before You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Scripture: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” - Proverbs 22:6

Day #43:

Focus: Letting Go of Control
Praise: I praise You for having everything in Your control and directing my life. You knew me before I was born, and You have great plans for me. There is nothing better and sweeter than Your will for me.
Repent: I confess that I have attempted to take control of my life instead of submitting to Your will. I repent of my schemes to direct my life and build my kingdom here on this earth.
Ask: Will You remind me to trust in You for my daily bread and learn to number my days on this earth? What am I failing to submit to Your control? Please comfort me and bring me peace as I take my hands off the wheel of life.
Yield: Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I seek to live for You, my Faithful Creator with every breath that You give me. May every good work of mine give You glory and praise. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Scripture: “I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.” - Jeremiah 10:23

Day #44:

Focus: What Breaks God’s Heart
Praise: Father, You know the depths of my heart. I praise You for being a compassionate God, full of grace and mercy. Even from the beginning of time, Your plan was to rescue us from our sin with the spotless lamb of God - Jesus Christ.
Repent: Lord, I confess that I am a sinner in need of You - my Savior. I live in a world of brokenness to which I have contributed. I am sorry to say that I have done things to break Your heart. I repent and run wholeheartedly toward Your loving and merciful arms.
Ask: Break my heart for what breaks Yours! What am I doing right now that is breaking Your heart? Overwhelm me with compassion for those who are still slaves to sin and those who are hurting.
Yield: I yield to Your Spirit today so that I may see things as You do. As I reflect on Your Son’s broken body on the cross, I am reminded of how You healed me from my brokenness. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Scripture: “Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.” - Acts 17:16

Day #45

Focus: Trusting God’s Timing
Praise: Father, You are sovereign over all things. Your timing is perfect, and Your plans are always good. I praise You for being a God who sees the beginning and the end, who is never late, and who works all things for the good of those who love You.
Repent: Lord, I confess that I often grow impatient and try to take control instead of waiting on You. I struggle to trust Your timing and sometimes doubt Your plans. Forgive me for my lack of faith, and help me to surrender my worries to You.
Ask: Teach me to trust You in the waiting. When I feel restless or discouraged, remind me that Your ways are higher than mine. Give me patience and peace as I lean into Your perfect timing for my life.
Yield: I yield my timeline, my expectations, and my plans to You today. Help me walk in faith, knowing that You are never early, never late, but always on time. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Scripture: “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” – Psalm 27:14
